Fantastic experience
My eyes were finally bad enough for cataract surgery. I had recently become one of Dr. Lanoux new patients after my optometrist retired and his office was not in my Humana network. Randomly I was referred to Dr. Lanoux from Humana. I could not have gotten any luckier. Our office visits were professional and precise and his assistants efficient and friendly. It was when he told me it was time for cataract surgery that I was excited but also scared. When he was out of the room I asked his assistant 'Is he good' and it was her sincere reply of 'He's one of the best' that made me feel better. I have been extremely near sighted my entire life. The surgery on my right eye was life changing. I did have a laser procedure and that made my recovery painless. I just finished my second eye and my vision is now amazing. Dr. Lanoux was as happy with my outcome as I am. He is kind, and obviously very skilled at what he does. I cannot recommend him highly enough! He's great.

5 Star Vision
I have worn glasses for 57 plus years. I was very apprehensive about having eye surgery but Dr Lanoux was so reassuring and supportive that I agreed. I can now see clearly without glasses and am completely amazed at how easy the surgery and recovery was. Dr Lanoux’s calm, confident and professional approach are just what you need in a physician. He always has a smile and you never feel rushed during your appointments. His office staff is just as friendly and supportive. I highly recommend Dr Lanoux!

The best managed office and an exceptional doctor
I have been a patient since 2015 and have received exceptionally good care and treatment for glaucoma and cataracts. Dr. Lanoux is very personable, charming with a great sense of humor. I am greeted with a smile and receive 100% of his attention. Besides his professional experience - he ranks among the best in the state - his office is the best managed of ANY doctor's office I have ever visited. I am seen consistently at the time for which my appointment was booked. Not a minute later. There is zero waiting time. How he does it, is beyond me. It allows me to plan my day, rather than spend time in a waiting room not knowing when I might be seen.

Laser cataract surgery with progressive lens
I have been a patient of Dr. Lanoux since 2006. He struck me then as a caring and compassionate doctor. even more so today. In July I had laser cataract surgery with the progressive lens, in the right eye. It was amazing what I have been missing all this time. Then in September 2023, I had the left eye surgery done. I went for my second follow up and was told I now have 20/20 vision. It truly is a miracle considering I was severely nearsighted, astigmatism, and cataracts. I found Dr. Lanoux and his staff including the surgical team, very professional, caring, easy going, compassionate and totally understanding. You couldn't ask for a better team. Thank you all for being so good to me. Thank you Dr. Lanoux for being the very best eye doctor I ever had. Very caring and compassionate. See you all in six months.

Dr Scott Lanoux
Dr Scott Lanoux has been my ophthalmologist for over 15 years. Within the last year he performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes and I now have 20/20 vision. He also performed eye surgery on my parents, husband and best friend who were all extremely pleased with the results. Dr Lanoux is one of the most highly skilled, compassionate and kind doctors that I know. He makes me feel like I am a member of his family. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an eye doctor. His office staff were also highly competent in the work that they do and treated me with kindness and respect.

Praise for an exemplary physician
I have been Dr. Lanoux's patient for over a year. I purposely sought him out based on many compelling reviews which characterized him as a competent and caring physician. I was concerned that my vision was compromised by cataracts. Dr. Lanoux confirmed that suspicion and then proceeded to perform cataract surgery on both of my eyes. In my case the procedure was complicated by the fact that I have Parkinson's Disease, for which reason Dr. Lanoux strongly encouraged me to opt for laser surgery. At a six-month check-up today I was pleased to learn that I now have 20/20 vision. So there is no question that Dr. Lanoux is a capable ophthalmologist. Just as importantly, he is a genuinely warm-hearted, utterly unpretentious doctor who treats his patients with respect, kindness and dignity. I am pleased to endorse him without reservation or qualification.

I anticipated cataract surgery with great trepidation. I put off getting the procedure done as long as I could. For me the procedure was performed by Dr. Scott Lanoux of EyeCare Associates. His confident, calming demeanor quickly allayed my concerns. He and his associates were caring, friendly and professional. The out-patient procedure was painless, relatively quick, and recovery was rapid. The results were extraordinary; I could see details I hadn’t noticed before, colors were vivid, it was as if I were viewing the world in three-dimensions for the first time. I will be forever appreciative of the care I received at the skilled hands of Dr. Lanoux, and the kindness with which he and his associates showed me. Crawford Carroll

Thank you Dr. Lanoux and your entire staff
Just had my second cataract surgery. Want to say how impressed I am with Dr. Lanoux and his entire staff, both office and surgical. He has been providing eyecare for three generations of my family. My recent cataract procedures went smoothly due to both Dr. Lanoux's proficiency as a surgeon and his professional and caring staff. In the past, Dr. Lanoux diagnosed a detached retina in my left eye. He personally arranged for a retina specialist to see me immediately. That same evening, I had laser surgery to repair the very serious problem which untreated could have easily led to loss of vision in that eye. That event, together with years of providing eyecare to my family, has earned Dr. Lanoux my gratitude and recommendations to anyone seeking outstanding eyecare.

LASIK surgery
Dr. Lanoux is my hero. He restored my eye sight. I am 73 yrs old and in very good health but having a problem seeing a night to drive. I really stopped driving at night altogether and didn't really feel confident driving d/t my blurry vision. Well, Dr. Lanoux did Lasik surgery on my left eye 5/4/22 and my right eye 6/1/22. I can see so well now. Everything is so sharp and clear. I just didn't realize how slowly my vision was regressing. I really feel so confident driving. Dr. Lanoux restored my eyesight and confidence. He is an excellent surgeon. I had no issues/complications whatsoever. His hospital staff for the day of your surgery is top-notch/first class. You won't get better care anywhere. Don't hesitate, don't be afraid. I had no complications. Good luck.

Excellent Eyecare Experience
After having some issues with reading and distance vision, I decided to try Eyecare Associates in Metairie, Louisiana. I selected Dr Scott Lanoux and during my first visit Dr Lanoux mentioned that cataracts were causing some of my problems. I decided to have cataract surgery, completing my right eye in early May and my left eye a month later. I am extremely happy with the results. Dr Lanoux’s and his staff’s professionalism, expertise and confidence is amazing. It gave me complete confidence and made a stressful surgery very manageable. Dr Lanoux and his staff spelled out exactly how the process would work, from scheduling, to ordering eye drops, to verifying insurance and all pre-op and post-op details. I feel my eyes are as good as they have ever been without corrective lens. I would highly recommend Eyecare Associates, Dr Scott Lanoux and the entire staff at the Eyecare Associates Surgery Center.

Dr. Lanoux is an excellent physician. His skill as a surgeon restored my vision when doctors thought improved vision was unlikely because of prior macular damage. He's dramatically enhanced my quality of life by improving my vision. He's a caring doctor with an excellent staff. They explain everything in detail. I will be grateful to Dr. Lanoux for the rest of my life. He has my highest praise and recommendation.
